Not the sort of thing I’d normally listen to, but, man, what a great jam of a cover. Thanks for posting where I’d stumble into it.

And people sometimes wonder why engineers look down on marketing. This is why.

If people are smart, they’ll stay away and avoid the inevitable ICE raids.

This is why Markey will beat my shit-for-brains rep Moulton in the primary.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Really? Thought that was Neil Peart and Pye Dubois.

You should call ahead and apologize for doing that to their weather.

-fsanitize=address? Hosed. tcmalloc? Unsure because it uses 3C stream interfaces.

That's really gross. Apparently it can be disabled and is related to Wayland (yet another reason to dislike Wayland, I suppose).

But after I had a test failure that I had to trace, I discovered something really toxic:

/etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/nx-sourceenv.sh:export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/NX/lib/libnxegl.so

It injects that preload into EVERYTHING by default! So if you use an interposition library for testing, you're hosed.

In general, I really like @nomachineofficial.bsky.social -- easy to use, easy to tunnel, compatible across a wide variety of systems, and reliable. It just works.

So many people used to answer the door when Mike Wallace knocked. It was always the same result.

Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*.

Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%.

(Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.)

With one exception being fried bread at breakfast. Made the mistake of trying that in 1994 on a business trip to London and, really, never again. Rest was great.

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.

The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.

Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

Definitely suspect it’s nonlinear, though.

Really don’t know if that is a progression of some sort (asshole calls you asshole squared), cancels out (asshole’s asshole is my friend) or a multidimensional attribute (asshole vector or tensor math). Someone should write a paper.

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

The US goalie trained near us at Stop It Goaltending with a family friend.

Both goalies were excellent.

It’s that tiny bit of rust that makes all the difference.

Microwaves deliver most of their energy to polar molecules such as water. They barely heat most plastics at all because they’re usually nonpolar. So, no, I wouldn’t expect trouble with that stirrer.

No idea why the towel is there though. It’ll work fine without.

You won't protect your principles by abandoning your principles. You won't protect one group of threatened people by abandoning another. All you'll do is bounce around the fascist frame, and so you'll never threaten the fascist project, because even if you "win" you're still inside their picture.

He had principled campaigns in 84 and 88. Wish I could have voted for him instead of Fritz and Hart in the general election.
